How to distribute pre-release game?

When you need to share a pre-release version of a game with a showcase, reviewer, alpha-testers, etc, what do you do? I know Steam and VivePort offer some closed alpha-release options. I've seen a service mentioned called "Pre-flight" on the MIVS FAQ (http://super-archive.magfest.org/mivsfaq) but I can't seem to find it. What other options are there and how well have they worked in your experience?

This is a marketing question. Moving to Business forum.

I think that's a typo. They refer to it as "test flight" on the next line. Test Flight used to be an iOS/Android service for this kind of thing, but then it was bought out by Apple and is now the official way to do this on iOS.

Thanks. I don't see it in the "Games Business and Law" forum - should I move it there myself.

Thanks, that clears things up!
